Replibit - Major Components of Replibit

The Replibit Licensing Portal

The Replibit Licensing Portal is the central management point for licensing and hardware orders. After requesting to become an eFolder Replibit Partner, completing the initial onboarding, and technical training, the Partner will gain access to the Replibit Licensing Portal:

where all of your customer accounts and license assignments are set up and managed.

Additionally, the Replibit Licensing Portal is where you place orders for eFolder Replibit BDR Appliances if you choose to do so.

It is deployed at the Customer site on either an eFolder BDR unit or on Partner provided Build-Your-Own hardware or Device (BYOD).

The Appliance device:

Holds the backup data received from installed Agents,

Manages replication to off-site Vaults,

Provides the Web Management interface for the local site, and

Hosts the virtual machine environment for Disaster Recovery.

The Replibit Vault

The Vault is the Datacenter component of Replibit that receives incoming Protected System data being replicated from your customer’s sites. Vaults are designed to be multi-tenant, and provide all the same recovery options in the cloud that the Appliance provides to the customer on-site.

Vaults receive incoming replication of recovery points sent over the internet from Appliances deployed at one or more Customer locations.

Vaults are typically deployed in a Partner's datacenter or provided by eFolder in the eFolder Storage Cloud.

Partners may choose to deploy a Vault at a remote Customer location to provide the customer with a Managed Private Cloud Backup and Disaster Recovery solution.

Vaults are designed to be multi-Tenant, and securely house protected system data from multiple Customers and locations.

Vaults can provide all the same restore and disaster recovery options as an Appliance, including hosting Servers or Workstations using an integrated Hypervisor.*

Vaults can be deployed on an eFolder BDR Appliance or on Partner provided Build-Your-Own hardware.

The Vault device:

Holds Multiple Customer’s Protected System Backup Data.

Receives Backup data over the Internet from Customer Appliances,

Provides the Web Management interface for Cloud Recovery, and

Hosts the virtual machine environment for Disaster Recovery.

* Virtualization on the Vault is not supported in the eFolder Storage Cloud. Disaster Recovery in the eFolder Storage Cloud utilizes dedicated compute nodes running Microsoft Hyper-V provided by the eFolder Continuity Cloud.

The Replibit Global Management Portal (GMP)

The Replibit Global Management Portal (GMP) provides for centralized management of all Appliances and Vaults deployed by a Partner, and provides a single-pane-of-glass view of all devices and protected systems. The GMP:

provides a central management repository, allowing secure remote access, and reporting statistics for all connected Replibit Appliances and Vaults, and their Protected Systems.

Typically, a Partner will deploy only one GMP connecting all Appliances and Vaults to it.

can be used for partners who choose to replicate to the eFolder Cloud receive a GMP virtual machine in the cloud free of charge.

provides a detailed overview of the health of local-backups and cloud-replication for all devices and supporting system statistics.

performs a Health Check which provides a global overview of all Protected systems in one single pane.

provides Trouble Check which allows to view any active issues associated with the vaults, appliances, or protected systems in a single dashboard.
